The Media module is poised to bring media in Drupal (images, video, audio, documents, etc.) into a united, powerful, and beautiful system for Drupal 7.

Come see a demo of the module in action, learn how to develop additional integration, understand stream wrappers and the related file system changes that went into core Drupal 7. This session is appropriate to beginners through expert users, as this module is intended to become a standard building block of most Drupal sites.

* Thanks to PHP stream wrapper functionality landing in Drupal 7, Media module treats internal and external files the same way, and therefore is the successor to Embedded Media Field module.
* It allows files to be placed into wysiwyg textareas, eliminating the need for iMCE module in many cases.
* It uses Field API to allow custom meta-information to be included with files.
* It has a powerful system for customizing the display of media.

Aaron Winborn and Jacob Singh are currently doing most of the Media Module development, with additional work done by over a dozen top Drupal developers, through online collaboration and a series of code sprints. This panel will be led by Katherine Senzee, Arthur Foelsche, Andrew Morton and Jody Hamilton.
